Case Study: Kinnarps achieves greater flexibility and scalability with Proact's Infrastructure as a Service

IT as a Service helps furniture maker to better support the enterprise build a more flexible environment

Kinnarps, a leading European office furniture supplier and family business, relied heavily on its own in-house IT resources to support its operations and custom application development. The company's challenge was to maintain control over its IT infrastructure while grappling with the increasing complexity and demanding expertise required to manage it, all while needing to remain flexible and responsive to evolving business needs. This led them to partner with vendor Proact.

The solution was the implementation of Proact's Infrastructure as a Service, including Systems Management, Storage as a Service, and Backup as a Service. This created a privately managed cloud environment that provided Kinnarps with crucial scalability, flexibility, and 24/7 expert support. The results included a more responsive IT function that could easily scale usage up or down, a shift from capital investments to volume-based operational fees, and allowed Kinnarps' own IT team to focus more on business-critical applications rather than infrastructure management.
